NOTE
In order to achieve longer bearing life, it is advisable not to use any type of lubricant other than
that which is indicated in the IST table at chapter 13.3, while keeping with the recommended
intervals and quantities. Lubricating intervals refer to the Vibrator operating at an ambient
temperature of +25°C (+75°F).
In case of higher ambient temperatures, the following reduction coefficients are to be applied
according to the following intervals:
• +30° (+85°F): 0,8
• +35° (+95°F): 0,6
• +40° (+105°F): 0,4
NOTE
The values indicated in the IST tables at chapter 13.3 are to be considered as guidelines and
may be reduced or increased according to the operators' direct experience in relation to specific
maintenance operations and applications.
NOTE
Smaller Vibrator models are fitted with ball bearings lubricated FOR LIFE and therefore do not
require any further lubrication, whereas, medium and large models are fitted with roller bea-
rings lubricated with special "Long Life" lubricant, as indicated in the IST table at chapter 13.3.
